- | Mark a project for download on the project page. | ||
- | |||
- | This will open the project status page where you can see the projects that are marked for download. You can use the filter at the top to limit the listing. | ||
- | |||
- | If a DAISY project is marked for download but then is modified, it won't be downloaded when you download the batch. There is no check for this yet for EPUB, and any EPUB projects that are listed will include a warning under the status table. | ||

- | When you run it, it creates a log file that lists the projects that are downloaded. This is overwritten each time it is run. You likely don't need to do anything with this in most cases unless something doesn' | ||

- | Extract it. | ||
- | |||
- | Right click removeQuarantine.command and choose open. You'll get a confirmation about running untrusted software. Allow it to run. You should get a terminal window with a message about removing the quarantine attribute. | ||
